Local link to northern final

Golf de la Luz director Dan Thomson with Teejay White
Local golf travel company, Golf de la Luz, provided the winners of the 2011 Northern Matchplay Golf Championship with a 5-star golfing holiday to Spain at Alwoodley Golf Club last week.

As main sponsor of the season-long competition the Holmfirth-based outfit, who specialise in golf breaks to the Costa de la Luz & Seville in Spain and the Lisbon & Algarve regions of Portugal, were on hand to dish out the top prizes to the overall champions.

The winners will be jetting off to the El Rompido Resort in the Costa de la Luz for an unlimited golf experience.

In the two-day climax to the tournament Rotherham Golf Club's Teejay White staged a remarkable comeback from six-down to land the individual title whilst Durham golfers, Kevin Dyson & Allan Williams from Seaham Golf Club, claimed the pairs crown with victory on the 36th green.

The season-long knockout tournament is run by another HD post-coded operation and attracted over 1,000 entries this year. 

The event is organised and promoted by Bradley Park member, Edward Battye, with entries now open for the 2012 event whilst the closing date is looming for an off-season winter pairs knockout.

Battye and Dan Thomson, a director of Golf de la Luz, watched the final day unfold and walked the last nine holes of the pairs match which saw an exciting finale. 

Thomson said, "I really enjoyed the day, equally as much as the participants seemed to, so that is great!"

Battye added, "The championship has been a huge success this year and with added support of Golf de la Luz next year should be even better as it allows us to take the grand final overseas to the stunning Arcos Gardens."
